Seychelles Bulbul

Unlike many endemic birds, Seychelles bulbul or the Merl in Creole, are not in any immediate danger of becoming extinct.

You can see them on all the largest islands from sea level to high altitudes in gardens and scrub, although they are particularly common in old woodland. They are noisy and aggressive birds, usually seen in small groups, with a range of chattering or squawking calls. Aldults are the only Seychelles land birds with orange beak and legs, but in young birds the beak and legs are dull grey-brown.
